Do you not read? "Most of the cost of that visit came out of my pocket because of the deductible." The patient paid the bulk of the $900 fee, $500 of which was the boot you say the doctor gave for "free." Had the patient purchased the boot on their own, it would have cost $75. The provider billed more than SIX times what the boot was worth. "And here you are complaining about it." I don't know the original poster, but i sure would complain too!
